It was great while it lasted - but when everyone quits, its hard to keep your sources :)

Thanks for giving us the inside scoop for months MetroMan!

Yes, it was amazing being a fly on the wall. I was in there for as long as possible because the wall is about to fall anyway.
 
it wouldn't be that fast. indiegogo has to transfer the money first, then the seller must show up, then Gawker will have to fly up here to pick it up. (unless they are willing to email it, which wouldn't surprise me) It could very easily be on the evening news tomorrow though.
 
Ford is directing all of his statements to Ford Nation only at this point.... He's desperately hoping they don't listen to any other news.

I just lost my source. :(

EDIT: No he's not dead. No he didn't get caught. He just lost his stream of information because of the recent resignations.

That's too bad, but know that you and your source have done your city a great service.

Any chance that Ford caught on to the leak and is cleaning house? Taking 'resignations' so it doesn't look like he's losing his shit?

Sounds like major tinfoil-hattery but at this point I'd believe anything. Whether or not the Fords are involved in criminal activity, they sure seem to run their offices like a criminal enterprise.
 
^^He may be on to something there. A half-dozen people I talked to today had conversations with Ford diehards over the weekend. A remarkable level of lunacy exists in this city.

The guys resigned because they "had other opportunities" and ford tells everyone he works with that if an opportunity comes up, you should take it
He apologized for calling the media maggots, said it's been a hard week for him and he shouldn't have said what he said.
Two guys resigned, but it's business as usual.

Thanks guitarchitect.
 
So as I understand it, the only occurrence that could trigger a by-election is if Ford actually resigned, correct? And once he has done so, council is under no obligation to actually call an election, but could simply appoint someone to finish the term, right?

I'm guessing that, at this point, there are not enough Fordists on council to support calling an election if Ford resigns. Anyone more in the know want to make an educated guess as to how such a vote would play out?

Totally reasonable speculation.

I thought my speculation a few days ago about murder was "tinfoil-hattery" as well, but look at where we are now.

Can you just show up at a bank branch and make a $200,000 withdrawal? Would a branch have that much cash on hand, or do they need some advance notice to set that up?
